My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Holding the green bamboo staff, Zhao Xuan suddenly understood the description in a book he liked in his previous life: "From the moment I held a sword as a child, I knew that I would be the master of swordsmanship and the future number one in the world."

Zhao Xuan wasn't holding a sword, but rather an ordinary-looking bamboo staff, three feet six inches long with twenty-four sections.

But the spiritual energy emanating from the green bamboo staff captivated Zhao Xu.

That feeling of vitality flowing through the air is sometimes as serene as the sky, sometimes as surging as the sea, sometimes as gentle as a breeze, and sometimes as fierce as thunder...

These myriad changes resonated with his mind and spirit, giving him a feeling that he could pierce through the heavens and earth with the green bamboo staff in his hand.

Suppressing the urge to fight back, he sighed, "Why think so much? I should just stick to farming."

This is the Realm of Humans and Immortals. He doesn't know why this world is called the Realm of Humans and Immortals, but the fact that a world has a name is a terrifying thing in itself.

This means that someone must know there is another world outside our world, and this world, which is mainly about cultivation, is called the Ascension to the Upper Realm.

Spiritual practice is not necessarily a positive term. When an individual's power can surpass the will of the collective, you cannot use the collective, society, law, or morality to make him abide by certain rules. Although the village may seem peaceful and idyllic now, the dark side of the world will surely exceed his expectations.

Therefore, after he transmigrated, he never left the area within 30 miles of Kaoshan Village.

Kaoshan Village is named so because it is backed by a large mountain.

The name Kaoshan Village means "living off the mountains and rivers".

They mainly hunt, supplemented by gathering, relying on the resources in the mountains. With only 300 households in the mountain village, they are not worried about food and clothing.

Heaven has mercy! Before Zhao Xuan transmigrated, he was just an ordinary chef, but he was a master of pastry making.

After transmigrating, he drank animal milk as a child and ate mostly meat as an adult, which made Zhao Xuan, a pastry chef, feel nauseous.

So when he was fifteen, Zhao Xuan asked his father, who was in the city buying necessities, to get him some grain seeds. He then cleared a few acres of land at the foot of the mountain and tried planting them himself.

However, Zhao Xuan clearly underestimated the wisdom of the villagers. Although hunting in the mountains yielded a rich harvest, it was also quite dangerous. If it were easy to grow crops, the villagers of Kaoshan Village would not have risked their lives to go into the mountains.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's predicament, his father smiled and passed on to Zhao Xuan a manual called "Shennong's Body Tempering Method".

Upon hearing the words "Shennong," Zhao Xuan himself was confused. He believed that any cultivation method containing these two words must be extraordinary, so he diligently practiced it every day without fail, but after two or three years, he had not made any significant progress.

Later I learned that this was just the most common foundation-building technique in the human-immortal realm.

After his father explained, Zhao Xuan realized that this was a world where everyone could cultivate.

Humans worship a hundred saints. When children reach the age of eight, they must apply to the government to enter the Temple of a Hundred Saints and worship the statues of the hundred saints.

A hundred saints manifested their power to enlighten children.

After enlightenment, the destiny star manifests, and the starlight transforms into the work star, entering the Purple Palace and beginning the path of cultivation for humankind.

The term "career" refers to one's occupation, and the "career star" is divided into nine ranks across a hundred occupations.

The Hundred Trades refers to all the various industries and sectors that have developed within the human race.

There is no distinction between high and low, noble and base in any profession. The manifestation of the karmic star is only for reference for humankind. However, cultivating oneself in one's suitable profession will yield twice the results with half the effort.

The ninth rank represents potential; the higher the rank, the greater the potential.

These industries can be roughly categorized into nine schools of thought.

The nine schools can be categorized into three types: wisdom, perseverance, and courage.

Wisdom refers to intelligence, and wise people belong to this category, which is the lineage of the Hundred Sages, as recorded in the "Fuxi Daoyandian".

"Zhi" refers to persistence, and practitioners belong to this category, as seen in the "Shennong's Book of Suffering" passed down through the Hundred Sages.

"Courage" refers to bravery, and martial artists belong to this category of the white-lineage "Xuanyuan Breaking Law Codex".

These three classics are the foundation of all methods, and all cultivation methods of the human race are derived from them.

Therefore, the profession of cultivation can also be divided into wise men, practitioners, and warriors.

The Shennong Body Strengthening Method is derived from the Shennong's Book of Hard Works.

The reason why Zhao Xuan could not accompany them was that he had not met the Hundred Sages, had not been enlightened by them, and had not comprehended the true meaning of the "Shennong's Book of Suffering".

The reason why Zhao Xuan did not receive the "Hundred Sages' Enlightenment" is because his rank was only ninth-grade, and his profession was still a farmer.

There is no distinction between noble and lowly professions; even farmers can become agricultural sages. Shennong was the first agricultural sage, so there's nothing more to say about that.

But those at the ninth rank have no value in being cultivated.

The difference between each grade of Yexing is tenfold; a ninth-grade farmer can only cultivate three mu of land and produce ordinary seeds.

Ordinary beings are of no use whatsoever for cultivation.

The ritual of worshipping a hundred saints and enlightening them is a national event, but it requires the depletion of the nation's fortune to initiate.

If one achieves success in cultivation, it will naturally benefit the nation's fortune, and the country will also benefit from it.

If something is destined to yield no results, the country will try to save as much as possible. Therefore, those below the sixth rank of Karmic Star do not receive the privilege of being enlightened by a hundred sages.

After that, Zhao Xuan basically gave up. With a fifth-grade martial artist as his father, he was set for life and wouldn't have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life.

As for sponging off one's parents, Zhao Xuan just chuckled.

Cultivation begins with each new rank, and each rank increases lifespan by sixty years. A first-rank martial artist can live to be six hundred years old, and my father's current lifespan is three hundred and sixty years.

My bones have turned to dust, but my father is still a young man.

Moreover, the cultivation resources of a fifth-grade martial artist, if a single pill could be exchanged for food, would be enough for Zhao Xuan to eat until he dies.

But after Zhao Xuan came of age, he still asked his father to set up a farm for him at the foot of the mountain, where he lived a carefree life, farming and fishing every day.

In my spare time, I would study the "Shennong's Classic of Hardships" and gradually gain some insights over the years.

Leaving aside the name Shennong for now, the phrase "arduous work" is gradually becoming clearer.

Hard work is seen as a profession that requires a lot of hard work to achieve results, such as farming.

It requires cultivation, planting, watering, fertilizing, weeding, insect removal, harvesting, and storage according to the seasons.

Every step requires mental and physical effort, and the slightest oversight will reduce production.

It can also be understood as abandoning the desire for pleasure and tempering oneself, like the ascetic practices in Indian mythology, after which one gains power.

Then, in the third year after Zhao Xuan left home, he ate fried rice made with newly grown rice.

In the midst of his own blissful state of mind, Zhao Xuan had an epiphany: all the suffering had transformed into a magical power.

The essence of the Karma Star is the Daoist rhyme drawn from the starry sky by the Hundred Saints. The Daoist rhyme is a wondrous existence created by the combination of the aura of laws and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It can be seen as a seed; the process of cultivation is the process of watering the seed to grow, and the harvest is supernatural power.

Therefore, Daoist rhyme is also seen as the seed of supernatural powers.

As for how the seeds will grow, one must consider the type of seed and how the practitioner waters them.

Coincidentally, Zhao Xuan's supernatural seed is the highest grade of supernatural seeds, the Limitless Ultimate Supernatural Power.

The "Record of Supernatural Powers" divides supernatural powers into three grades: Earthly Fiends, Heavenly Gangs, and Boundless Powers.

Earthly Fiends are the lowest rank, and can only activate their powers through their own strength. Their supernatural abilities depend entirely on their own foundation, and are also known as minor supernatural abilities.

Those of the Heavenly Gang rank are of the middle grade. They can use the power of heaven and earth to enhance their supernatural powers, which are also known as great supernatural powers.

The immeasurable is the highest grade. There are four great powers in the realm: Heaven, Earth, Dao, and Man. Greatness is immeasurable. In addition to the power of Heaven and Earth, the immeasurable great supernatural power can also be enhanced by borrowing the power of all living beings.

However, there is another grade beyond the three grades, which is called the Limitless Great Divine Power. The reason it is outside the three grades is that the Limitless Great Divine Power has no subject, but any kind of divine power can become the subject of the Limitless Great Divine Power.

It is a boundless power attached to supernatural abilities, enabling these abilities to transcend one's own level and have no limits.

Cultivation is divided into nine grades. Cultivation before entering a grade is the process of nurturing the seed of supernatural power to take shape. Entering a grade is the sign that the seed of supernatural power has taken shape.

The wise enter the realm of virtue, and it is spiritual energy that nourishes the seeds of supernatural powers.

When a practitioner enters a higher realm, it is the blood and qi that nourish the seeds of supernatural powers.

A martial artist enters the ranks. What nourishes the seeds of supernatural powers is one's spirit and will.

Zhao Xuan did not reach the rank of a rank, but he had an epiphany amidst the joy and happiness he gained at No. 1 High School. His supernatural seed absorbed something and took shape, and then the feedback from the supernatural power directly allowed Zhao Xuan to reach the rank of a rank.

Then you will obtain a version of the Great Divine Power "Flower Blooms in an Instant" based on the Great Divine Power "Flower Blooms in an Instant".

According to the Record of Supernatural Powers, five energies within the abdomen give rise to golden flowers, which hang in endless cascades. Myriad rays of light transform into auspicious clouds, ensuring the immortal body remains unbroken through countless eons.

It contains the laws of creation and is a first-rate method of self-protection.

The Wuji Divine Power version of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" contains three laws: the Law of Creation, the Law of Life, and the Law of Time, and has four major uses.

Firstly, the golden flower that protects the body is derived from the laws of creation.

It draws upon the spiritual energy within a certain range, transforming it into countless golden flowers and auspicious clouds. The auspicious clouds cast down golden light to resist damage, which is also the wonderful use of the original "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" skill.

Secondly, the enlightenment of the golden flower, derived from the laws of life.

The sign of the completion of spiritual practice is the attainment of the Dao fruit, which is nurtured by the Three Flowers, which in turn are the perfect transformation of the Three Treasures within the human body. The moment the flowers bloom, one can prematurely induce the Three Treasures to transform into the Three Flowers before the Three Treasures within the human body have been cultivated to perfection, and experience the wonder of the perfection of the Three Treasures.

Thirdly, the golden flower spirit evolved from the laws of time.

Everything that is not eternal and unchanging is bound by time, turning into a golden flower that is absorbed.

Fourth, the Golden Flower Domain, which is derived from the combined effects of the three laws.

It forms its own domain, within which the Heavenly Dao does not exist.

Of course, Zhao Xuan still needs to cultivate slowly before he can fully unleash its power.

After three more years of cultivation, Zhao Xuan combined his knowledge with the "Shennong's Bitter Works Manual" and came up with a set of "Awakening of Insects Staff" for use in magical battles.

Of course, it can also be called "Twenty-Four Hours Staff". It is Zhao Xuan who took the evolution of the four seasons and used the principles of the twenty-four solar terms to develop twenty-four staff techniques.

He also loved the imagery of the first thunder of spring during the Awakening of Insects, when all things were bursting forth. Therefore, he considered the Awakening of Insects move to be the most powerful, hence it was also called the "Awakening of Insects Staff Technique".

He then took a section of green bamboo and used the golden flower that bloomed in an instant to absorb the life force of the plants over ten thousand years, refining it into a green bamboo staff.

This bamboo staff is no ordinary item; its raw material is called Azure Sky Bamboo, a spiritual material found in space. It doesn't appear for a thousand years, but when it does, it grows 360 segments a day, each segment being three inches and three centimeters long.

It will not grow an inch longer after that, but the life force and spiritual energy it absorbs will be transformed into spatial power, giving birth to a space within the bamboo tube.

The longer it grows, the larger the space inside becomes.

Once obtained, cultivators often refine it into a spatial magic treasure.

However, the branches and leaves that grow are not particularly special and are not of high value.

What Zhao Xuan actually obtained was a branch, but nourished by the vitality of ten thousand years, the branch regained its vitality and even returned to its original form to become the main trunk.

Because it was frequently baptized by Zhao Xuan with the twenty-four qi, it was transformed into a twenty-four-section green bamboo staff, which gave birth to twenty-four small spaces, each a hundred square meters in size.
